THE BODY SHOP HAUL

We all love skincare and for me, skincare is mostly about fragrance. The first thing I always notice while buying skincare(not face products obviously...LOL ) is a good fragrance.  And my search always ends up in THE BODY SHOP store. So recently I picked three products from THE BODY SHOP.

They are:-

• EDT BRITISH ROSE (Price:- Rs.1195/-).
• BRITISH ROSE YOGURT (Price:- Rs.845/-)
• ENGLISH DAWN GARDENIA BODY WASH (Price:-Rs.625/-).

EDT BRITISH ROSE:-

💓Love their EDT and that British Rose was in my wishlist from a pretty long time. Finally grabbed it. A beautiful rose fragrance that lasts all day long giving that fresh feel.

BRITISH ROSE YOGURT:-

💓That Body Yoghurt is so light for summer and perfects to seal the fragrance of British Rose EDT. Basically, I bought it because the sales girl of the shop told me that to seal the fragrance of EDT we need to apply same fragrance body cream but as it is summer to BODY YOGHURT will go perfect now. The body yogurt is so light and easily absorbed in my skin leaving a non-greasy matte look. I am totally fallen in love with this product.

ENGLISH DAWN GARDENIA SHOWER GEL:-
💓Next, the shower gel has such beautiful aqua-floral fragrance that I just grab it without thinking twice. I was looking for some aqua fragrance boy washes and my search ends here. It has a beautiful sweet aqua-floral mixture of fragrance that is pretty new to me and is loving it.

So these are the products that I picked up in my recent THE BODY SHOP STORE trip.

*** I also took THE BODY SHOP CARD to get some additional discount of 10% always.

So, that's all for today. See you in my next post.

REVIEW OF IMIANA HOUSE LUXURY SKINCARE PRODUCTS

 
There is still chill in winter. it is a common fact that winter does the most harm to your skin during its arrival or during leaving...seasonal change is the most harmful time for skin.
So, today's post is something related to protection of your skin from this last winter...

Imiana house is a luxury skincare brands who send me two product for review purpose which I was using religiously from past one month before I review these products.

The two products are:-

• African Cocoa butter Soap
• Anti-Cellulite cinnamon body butter

African Cocoa butter Soap:-
 
Price:- Rs.750/-
Availability:- IMIANA HOUSE

What does the product claim?

"Free From Chemicals, Synthetic Colour Or Artificial Fragrance"
Our Luxurious organic handmade soap is made from all botanical natural oils and extremely moisturizing butter. At ImiAna House we use only 100% pure essential oils which are Rejuvenating, relaxing, soothing and therapeutic in a true sense.

A little more description about the soap:-

African Cocoa butter with virgin coconut oil, castor oil, and olive oil. Made with African Cocoa butter as the main ingredient and pure virgin coconut oil. Cocoa butter is a very effective anti-aging agent. It naturally soothes and heals sensitive and dry skin.Cocoa butter is especially rich in vitamin E and helps create a protective barrier on the skin.
Coconut is one of the true wonder plants.It contains healthy fatty acids required for healthy skin and hair.Lauric, Capric, and Caprylic Acid – These fatty acids from the coconut are antimicrobial agents.
Coconut oil’s antifungal properties protect skin, heal damaged skin making it soft and supple.
Olive oil aka. jetun ka tel is a boon for the skin. It is a great anti-oxidant, Antioxidants may help protect the skin from premature skin aging and vitamin E present in olive oil has anti-aging benefits because it helps restore skin smoothness and protects against ultraviolet light.
Castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties hence good for treating sun-burn.Castor oil also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin which delay the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Kerala grown organic cocoa helps to renew and firm new skin cells, promote healthy skin tissues, and it also helps promote healthy cell development.
It has the goodness of Eucalyptus Essential oils.

[P.S. Since all our soaps are handmade in small batches, color and designs may vary from batch to batch but ingredients and purity will always be the same.]

My experience:-

A skincare product that smells good always makes you feel good. The first thing that I noticed in any skincare products is the fragrance of the product. African Cocoa butter Soap wins my heart as the soap smells divine and it fragrance just lingers even after the bath. Secondly, as it is a handmade soap so the pattern of the soap makes it look luxury. The soaps lather pretty well and it washes my skin so well. The best part of African Cocoa butter Soap, the soap moisturized my skin so well that it is perfect for this winter when our skin wants some extra moisturizer. The cocoa butter that presence in the soap makes my skin feel soft and moisturized. 

Anti-Cellulite cinnamon body butter

Price:- Rs.499.00 – Rs.950.00
Size:- 50 gm, 100 gm, 250 gm
Availability:- IMIANA HOUSE
What does the product claim?

Handmade | NO SLS, Paraben & Phthalate | Vegan | Organic | Chemical Free

Little more info:-

Imiana House Anti-Cellulite cinnamon body butter enriched with cocoa butter, Shea butter, coconut oil, cinnamon oil and organic cinnamon powder effectively helps in reducing stubborn cellulite and moisturizes skin effectively.

Cinnamon has some rather unexpected qualities. It’s a proven antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antimicrobial substance.Cinnamon is rich in benefiting minerals like Iron, calcium, and Magnesium that help keep skin healthy.
Cinnamon actually helps local blood circulation and consequently helps spread the distribution of cellulite making it the perfect addition to a body butter. It helps remove blood impurities reducing inflammation and is also recommended for acne. It’s quite possibly the ultimate cellulite busting ingredient to ever go into a body butter!


My experience:-

The body butter smells just like a mixture of coconut with cinnamon which is so refreshing to my sensitive nose. The body butter is thick in texture for which a little goes a long way. It moisturizes my dry skin so well that my skin remains hydrated for hours. I am using this body butter from past one month and I can feel my skin remain pretty moisturized, looks healthy and feels great. All I can't comment on its anti-cellulite properties as it is too early to say anything about it. I will definitely update here once I finish the body butter. 

Overall I love both African Cocoa butter Soap and Anti-Cellulite cinnamon body butter. The combo of both actually improves my skin texture and so I would definitely recommend you to try at least these two if you want a healthy skin.

That's all for today.
